[Cinci-nfb] volunteers needed to mann the NFB table at 2017 Braille Challenge in Cincinnati, Ohio on March 3, 2017

[Annie McEachirn]

Lisa and all,

I am interested in helping out at the NFB table if you still need a
volunteer.  I phoned Ms. Turner on yesterday and left my name and phone
number letting her know that I am interested in volunteering.

Hi Lisa and all,
I believe that our table will be in the Hospitality Room, which will be at
the Procter Center. The tentative hours listed on the program are 10:30 AM
till 2:00 PM. I will also have a table there to hand out Guide Dog
literature, which my mom will be helping out with. I will probably be
running around that day doing multiple tasks, but I will come by and help
out when I can.
Deanna
